Alter twenty years of prayerful study and experiment these churches by great majorities they have so much in common that to all intents and purposes they are identical in faith and polity and that they can pursue their work for Canada better as one body than as separate units.

For the state to in- lerfere in this raises the whole question of spiritual freedom in its most acute farm. The sole head- ship of Jesus over His Church. for which the Scottish churches have so earnestly contended and the freedom from state. iuterference - in spiritual matters for which the free churches of the English-speak- ing world have struggled and which they have won at so great u cost, is now threatened in Canada.
